Adam Liptak manages to write an entire New York Times column about the court case Hedges v. Obama without explaining that "Hedges" is Christopher Hedges, who spent 15 years as a reporter for the New York Times, and without mentioning that the other named plaintiffs in the case include Pentagon Papers figure Daniel Ellsberg and the radical professor Noam Chomsky.

The online version of Mr. Liptak's column includes a hyperlink to court documents that include that information, but print readers are out of luck, and the Times connection to the plaintiff in the case seems at least worth disclosing in a Times news article.
